        With EVs I think the criticism is valid. The government is selling them at a loss using slave labor and it’s impossible to compete with that. The rest I pretty much agree. There’s too much idiotic “traditionalism” here in the US that’s holding us back in many sectors while countries like China play the long game and will crush us in that area at some point in the future.

          The same boomers in power of the US are the same boomers that shipped American manufacturing to China… That will never return. They’re critiquing themselves right?

          Also, American car companies barely manufacture any cars in the USA.

    It continues to fascinate me how self-proclaimed small-gov libertarians always find themselves making their money off of government.

    Are there any good ChatGPT alternatives that are not owned by a billionaire or tied to the government?

      Deepseek may be build in china but it can be run locally and privately on some beefy gaming hardware.

      Currently you need a jailbreak to get trough the cencor but it wont be long till someone derives a new unlocked open source model from it.

      Whatever happened to that guy who would include the Creative Commons license as a signature in every comment with the false belief that it would stop anyone from using them to train LLMs?
